Yesterday I opened up a PO box and Bank account in the town I work in. There is littl emoney in account but it is a beginning. And Thank goodness I did. Everyday confirms that We have to get out. It will just take a little planning and some saving. Just starting to make exit plan.
Hubby got his 1st DUI Memorial Day weekend and has been unbearable since then. Can't speak to me for even a minute without being hostile and calling me stupid in one way or another. I do not let him affect the way I feel about myself. It just reinforces that I need to be away from this man.

Yay for you and your baby steps (which I consider to be rather LARGE steps!).

Keep your head down and keep on trucking. You'll be out soon!

I was shaking after opening the bank account. I have know I needed to do it for about 2 years. But, I had hope he would change. But, the situation will not change. So, I have to do something.

I hope you get away from that jerk soon. Good for you for taking steps in a positive direction. Please try to get to an Al-Anon meeting where you can gain the support of caring individuals in your community.

Hard to do, only one meeeting a week. Get half an hour for lunch so it would be rough.

I agree with Noday (I seem to be saying that often today ) and Smacked. Huge first steps! Congrats!

Glad to hear you're starting to make an exit plan. Keep taking those 'baby' steps!

That is HUGE. Remember even Usain Bolt, the Jamaican sprinter and the fastest human being on earth, took his first baby step once. Soon you'll be taking bolder steps.
